Batemans Bay Urban Creeks Flood Study
The Batemans Bay Urban Creeks Flood Study was adopted by Council on Tuesday 27 July 2021. Council engaged flood specialists Rhelm to undertake the next stage in the flood risk management process:
This next stage will examine options for managing the flood risk in Batemans Bay alongside our community and emergency management services such as the State Emergency Service.
Study area
With the assistance of the NSW Government, we have prepared an Urban Creeks Flood Study, which examines flood behaviour in catchments around seven urban creeks in Batemans Bay.
Funding
The study was prepared by Rhelm Australia, with help from Council and financial and technical assistance from the NSW Government. The study was prepared in line with the NSW Government's Flood Prone Land Policy, as outlined in the NSW flood risk management manual.

Community engagement
The draft Batemans Bay Urban Creeks Flood Study was on public exhibition for community feedback until Wednesday 30 June 2021. During the exhibition period we asked for your comments and feedback, which can be used to verify and improve the flood study prior to it being finalised.
We also hosted a drop-in session at Batemans Bay where project staff answered questions and received feedback on the draft study’s findings.
